Object ID:
1955.7393.1
Community:
New Hampshire, Canterbury
Description

Swift of birch, beech, and maple. Three sets of arms and spacers sized to nest turn on a central shaft so that they can be expanded for use or collapsed to nearly flat for storage. The central shaft (now) is a section of threaded rod not original to swift. However, the commercial knurled knob on top of iron is original.
